A Strange Witness

Cor. Washington Star.
Some weeks ago a young woman
named Scott. who was soon to be.
come n mother, appeared before q
.dercer County PA Justice of the
Peace and swore out warrant for
the arrest OF a young named Will
lam Bloodgood on a charge OF assault
and battery. Bloodgood was arrest
ed. The young woman swore ut the
hearing that q few weeks previous
Bloodgood had come to her house,
and, as she objected to his remaining,
he had choked her nearly to insensi-
bility, and twisted her left wrist, al
most dislocating it. She said the
marks of his fingers and thumb were
visible on her throat for several days.
and her wrist remained crooked for
some time. She had no witnesses to
substantiate her statements or prove
the assault. Bloodgood admitted
having been present at the girls house
vt the time OF the alleged assault, but
denied that any had been made He
was held, however, TO await trial at
court.
Few believed that the Girl had been
assaulted, and Bloodgood's Discharge
was expected by his friends assoon as
court met. The case was called at the
last term OF the Mercer court. The
complainant appeared, carrying her
three weeks-old baby. Her lawyer put
her on the stand, and she swore that
Bloodgood hadassaulted her as stated
and that she was the mother OF tho
baby in her arms. A physician cor
roborated the fact of that relation
ship. The lawyer then told the court
that as the defense would ask for ac~
quitta on the ground that there was
no evidence OF any assault having been
committed, he offered rs evidence cor
decorative of the plaintiff testimony
the baby she had in his arms The
prosecuting lawyer took the infant to
the Jury, and, uncovering its throat
revealed to them the distinct ma rks al
Jour fingers on one side of it and the
plain and unmistakable impression OF
thumb on the other. After these
remarkable birthmarks had been ex-
amined by the jury the lawyer uncov-
cred the baby's left wrist. 1t was
twisted out of shape and swollen. as if
it had been suddenly wrenched. These
marks correspondent exactly with the
injuries the chid's mother sworc she
had received at the hands OF the pris-
oner, Bloodgood, more than month
before it was born. The prisoner was
convicted.

Boston Long Ago.

An Englishman visiting Boston in
1899 wrote as follows OF some OF his
observations:
"If you kiss woman in publick,
though offered as courteous saluta-
ton, if any information is gwen to the
select members both shall be whipped
or fined. But the good humored lasses,
to make you amends, will kiss the
kinder in a corner. A captain OF
ship who had been on long voyage,
happened to meet his wife and kissed
her in .he street, for which he was
fined ten shillings and forced to pay
the money. Another inhabitant OF
the town was fined ten shillings for
kissing his own wife in his garden, and
obstlnately refusing to pay the money,
endured twenty lashes at the gun. At
this rate one OF the delightfullest Gus
toms OF the world will in time be quite
thrown out OF fashion, to the old
folks satisfaction but to the young
ones lamentations, who love it as
well in New England as We do in the
old"
The same man continues his obser.
vations and relations as follow:
Every tenth manis chose as one OF
the Select, who have power together
to regulate and punish all disorders
that happen in their several neghbor-
hoods. The penalty for drunkenness
is whipping or crown; cursing or
swearing the same fine, or to be bored
through the tongue with hot iron.

do either without offence, and be as safe
